OCTOBER COMPASSION OFFERING

THE CROSSING Campus Ministry

THE CROSSING has spiritual roots in progressive Christianity. Its mission is to provide

an open, diverse, welcoming and faith-inclusive campus ministry at the University of

Wisconsin-Madison, where students can deepen their relationship with God, each other

and their sense of the world around them.

THE CROSSING encourages participants to interpret and apply the teachings of Jesus

within a social justice framework, while incorporating their own personal spiritual

reflections. This includes supporting the learning about justice from Christian and non-

Christian traditions, as well as being invested in cultural diversity in our programming

and worship gatherings.

THE CROSSING is committed to raising awareness about local and global human rights

concerns, promotes a service, compassion-oriented approach to life, inspires courage to

live as agents of peace, believes in environmental stewardship and justice, and affirms

gender equality, identity, and individual preference in human sexuality.

THE CROSSING welcomes all students and encourages them to collaborate on

meaningful and impactful activities. Small group gatherings are central in our

programming.

THE CROSSING programming is carried out in a casual and fun learning environment

where students set the agenda, lead actions and activities.

THE CROSSING is jointly funded by the United Church of Christ, The United Methodist

Church, and the American Baptist Churches, of Wisconsin.

 

Thank you in advance for your contribution.
